VOICEMAIL TRANSCRIPT
Hey, it’s Edgar. I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you.
Not too long ago, I was in a tough place—but The Relatives gave me a second chance. With consistent meals, helpful programs, and their nonstop support and check-ins, I was able to rebuild a stronger version of myself. I found stability, and more importantly, I rediscovered my purpose.
I secured a safe place to stay, which gave me the foundation I needed to dive deep into learning real estate . I’ve been studying the formula, key strategies—and now networking across Charlotte and focusing on southern markets with real potential. It’s exciting to see how far I’ve come from where I was.
The Relatives gave me a powerful head start. They helped with gas, tutoring, and financial education that taught me how to save and start tackling my debt with real structure and discipline.
Thanks to all of that, I was able to earn my GED—and now I’m chasing my dream of working in real estate.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Whether you’ve supported The Relatives, volunteered, or just believed in second chances—you’ve really made a difference. Even though we’ve never met, you’ve made a profound impact on my life. So, thank you.
